Specs checked against HEAD's official product page on Sep 15, 2026. HEAD labels the shape Widebody and publishes weight, thickness, handle and grip only; length, width, core material, approval and warranty are not on the product page. Amazon stock was a third-party seller at last check. Manufacturers change specs and prices; the brand page is the source of truth.

Franklin
Franklin's flagship carbon paddle: a T700 face with an angled peel-ply texture over a foam-perimeter polymer core, with a long handle and a published swingweight.
